Hip & Joint Chews

I have a 20 pound 9 year old male Borkie (Beagle + Yorkie) mix and a 15 pound 5 year old female Yorkie. She is extremely active and he is a couch potato. She likes to jump in and out of the bed by hopping on the ottoman and then jumping in the bed. My Borkie jumps on the bed directly from the floor. I noticed about a month ago my Yorkie limping around. Her back left leg was suspended in air when she tried to walk. I thought perhaps It was a torn nail or something in her paw but after checking I found nothing. I had to start carrying her out to the back yard because she couldn’t get out of bed anymore. I would bring her food and water bowls to her. After giving her some anti-inflammatories she would get better for a few days and then the inflammation would return and she would be limping again. I suspect this is luxating patella and am trying to treat this holistically before considering surgical intervention. My Yorkie will not eat them. My Borkie eats them with no problem. Her vet recommended we start a supplement regimen to help support her hips and joints to keep her going and stated it would be beneficial for my Borkie as well. During this last flare up I noticed her hind legs were very stiff and sore, and she was struggling getting up and getting in and out of the bed again. I could feel the inflammation in her hip. I started grinding the chews up into a dust powder and adding it to her food and she never notices. However, now she seems to be getting around a lot better. Can't wait to see how she is after a 6 months. After only a week using this product she started running and jumping like she was a spring chicken. I AM soooo relived and will be purchasing more of this and making it a part of their regular supplements.

I have a 120 pound 4 year old male Doberman. He is a VERY active and energetic boy who takes his play time seriously. He has always been a bit reckless with himself. He runs hard, trips over his own feet, he’s a bit crazy lol. Over the last year we have noticed him slowing down. It takes less and less play to wear him out. Sometimes he gets slow when walking and grumbles when he lays down or climbs up onto furniture. His vet recommended we start a supplement to help support his hips and joints to keep him going. I looked into a lot of different ones and tried to read negative reviews to really see. I am really glad I got this one despite some of the negative reviews. We have been giving them for a little over a week and I really can see a difference already. He seems a year younger during play time again. Negative 1: people complained about them blobbing together. Ours came good but they are soft chews and I can see where ordering them in the summer months might be an issue. When ordering, I’ll keep that in mind. They are little soft chews. Even sitting on the counter they stick together. I shake the jar before opening and they are fine (but it’s winter). Negative 2: some complain that the smell is awful and their dog won’t touch them. There is a smell. BUT in my opinion it’s not strong or bad. They smell like dog treats to me. My dog gobbles them right up. He seems to love them. Negative 3. This was the big one for me! Some reviews state their dogs had gotten diarrhea or otherwise sick. My boy has a very sensitive belly. Thankfully, these haven’t bothered him at all. This is dog specific though. My dog needs four a day. The first day I only did one. Second and third day 2, and then on day four we started the whole dose (4 for him, 2 am and 2 pm). He didn’t have issues but other dogs might. I would recommend starting low if you try these just to be sure. Negative 4. The price. For me it’s going to be $40 a month for what dosage my boy needs. This is kinda pricy and sucks. However these have all the ingredients I was hoping for for my boy. Especially the anti inflammatory (this really made a quick noticeable difference in my opinion). I think the price is worth it in my case (maybe not everyone’s) my pup seems much more comfortable and energetic. And as a bonus, he gets excited to eat them. It’s nice to give a med to him that I don’t have to disguise in something else haha, that’s never fun. Overall very happy that I went with these ones and hope we continue to have good results.

I have an 11 year old German Wirehair Pointer who I bought these for. She absolutely loves them, I top her food bowl off each morning with 4 chews. I can barely get them into the bowl before she has eaten them I have to store the container away from sight so she doesn't get into them and eat the whole jar. She tore her ACL last fall and these have really helped her with daily movements, making life comfortable. After her last vet visit, I was told it would be a good idea to keep giving her Glucosamine and Chondroitin. I have since purchased this item half a dozen times. Only reason for not giving the product 5 stars was that you should not let these sit out by the door on a hot day after delivery - they kind of melted and had a different smell to them. Make sure to keep them in a cool dry place.

Purchased for my 16 year old Maltese . . You could tell that it eased the pain in his joints.

My 11-1/2 year old dog (Willow) loves these and she makes sure that she gets several every morning once she's gone outside and is coming back in. She's doing great for her age in terms of moving around and my vet told me to continue doing whatever it is I'm doing. Her age is comparable to a 75 y.o. human and although there's lots of grey in her face, she has great mobility.

Good product….don’t like that the price keeps changing.

This has made a substantial improvement in movement quality for our 13 year old labradoodle. We have gotten out of routine a few times and forgotten to give chews for a couple days and noticed a rapid decline in how she feels. I just wish the price wasn't so high and it also seems to fluctuate a lot.

Helpful for my dog. No problems.
